Comment 1 Fridolin Somers 2012-10-31 15:44:12 UTC
On intranet result page, items with notforloan < 0 are available.
But this negative value is used when item is on order.
It should be unavailable.

QA Comment:
I would agree with your second adjustment on line 1840 (removing the >0 condition, including negative notforloan).
I am not sure about your first adjustment on line 1802 (changing ==-1 to <0 ).
As I understand, a negative notforloan value does not immediately imply that the item is on order. Historically, the value of -1 means on order, although someone could change or remove the authvalue. (In that case he would be hindered by the hardcoded -1 tests in code..) But where do we say that -2 means on order too? 

Please clarify or correct me where my conclusion seems wrong. Changing status to reflect need of clarification.

> But where do we say that -2 means on order too? 
I would say yes, I found several places in actual code indicating that all negative notforloan values mean "On order" :

XSLT.pm line 247 :
    if ( $item->{notforloan} < 0) {
        $status = "On order";
    } 

Reserves.pm line 820 :
    # if item is not for loan it cannot be reserved either.....
    #    execpt where items.notforloan < 0 :  This indicates the item is holdable. 
    return ( '' ) if  ( $notforloan_per_item > 0 ) or $notforloan_per_itemtype;

opac-details.pl line 523 :
    $norequests = 0
       if ( (not $itm->{'wthdrawn'} )
         && (not $itm->{'itemlost'} )
         && ($itm->{'itemnotforloan'}<0 || not $itm->{'itemnotforloan'} )
		 && (not $itemtypes->{$itm->{'itype'}}->{notforloan} )
         && ($itm->{'itemnumber'} ) );

The Koha configurations I sow use several negative values to indicate the several levels of acquisition.

Feel free to ask more.

Well, enough to convince me. Will send a mail to Nicole asking if this is already documented somewhere too.
Status to Passed QA.
